Online Teaching and Learning Strategies
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: In this course, we will introduce you to current research and best practices for both online and blended teaching as well as showcase examples of successful teaching strategies for both methodologies. Throughout the course you will work both independently and collaboratively with your peers to gain valuable online course transition experience and develop strategies in online teaching and learning. As a participant, you will learn both pedagogical aspects of teaching online as well as how to use and incorporate many of the tools available in the myCourses Learning Management System used at UMD. The ultimate goal of the course is to have you begin planning, organizing and building the course you eventually plan to teach. In addition, this course will introduce you to tools that will teach you how to self-assess course site design to ensure student ease of access to course content and to facilitate more streamlined student learning and retention.

Parallel Synchronized Randomness Print Exhibition
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: Free admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Opening Reception: AHA! Night, July 9 Gallery Talk by Adrian Tio at 6 pm
Location: Crapo Gallery & Gallery 244
Star Store Campus, UMass Dartmouth
715 Purchase Street, New Bedford, MA 02740
The College of Visual and Performing Arts presents an exhibition of more than twenty prints by professional printmakers from throughout the United States that were collected as a part of artist exchange organized by Oregon artist Louise Krampien.
Krampien described this project as follows: "Parallel Synchronized Randomness (a term adopted from the 2006 French film The Science of Sleep) essentially is a phenomenon which hypothesizes that like minded strangers will inevitably come into contact with each other through the nature of their own actions. The conception of this exchange began in 2000 when the organizer started noticing the personal connections that several of her instructors, peers, and members of past print exchanges already had with one another. The intention of this exchange is to acknowledge and foster this phenomenon by calling attention to several of these particular artists and asking that each participant invites another artist to be a member of the exchange."
Portfolio #13 is brought to the UMass Dartmouth Star Store campus by Adrian Tio, Dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts. Tio, who is also a printmaker, was invited by participating artist Michael Hecht (#9), a fellow member of the Hatch Street Studios in New Bedford. Visitors can enjoy various printmaking techniques such as woodcuts, intaglios, silkscreens, linocuts, and digital glycee. The prints are displayed in numerical order by artist, allowing for unintended dialogues of color, texture, line, shape, value and design.

Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation Defense By: David A. Hague
- Location: > See description for location
- Cost: free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: TOPIC: THE GENERALIZED SINUSOIDAL FREQUENCY MODULATED WAVEFORM FOR ACTIVE SONAR SYSTEMS
LOCATION: Library, Room 314
ABSTRACT:
Pulse Compression (PC) active sonar waveforms provide a significant improvement in range resolution over single frequency sinusoidal waveforms also known as Continuous Wave (CW) waveforms. Since their inception in the 1940's, a wide variety of PC waveforms have been designed using either Frequency Modulation (FM), phase coding, or frequency hopping to suit particular sonar applications. The Sinusoidal FM (SFM) waveform modulates its Instantaneous Frequency (IF) by a sinusoid to achieve high Doppler sensitivity which also aids in suppressing reverberation. This allows the SFM waveform to resolve target velocities. While the SFM's resolution in range is inversely proportional to its bandwidth, the SFM's Auto-Correlation Function (ACF) contains many large sidelobes. The periodicity of the SFM's IF creates these sidelobes and impairs the SFM's ability to clearly distinguish multiple targets in range. This dissertation describes a generalization of the SFM waveform, referred to as the Generalized SFM (GSFM) waveform, that modifies the IF to resemble the time/voltage characteristic of a FM chirp waveform. As a result of this modification, the Doppler sensitivity of the SFM is preserved while substantially reducing the high range sidelobes producing a waveform whose Ambiguity Function (AF) approaches a thumbtack shape. This dissertation describes the properties of the GSFM's thumbtack AF shape, compares it to other well known waveforms with a similar AF shape, and additionally considers some of the practical considerations of active sonar systems including transmitting the GSFM on piezoelectric transducers and the GSFM's ability to suppress reverberation. Lastly, this dissertation also describes designing a family of in-band nearly orthogonal waveforms with potential applications to Continuous Active Sonar (CAS).
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.

Blended Learning: Finding the Mix
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: This online workshop focuses on blended learning strategies and developing faculty abilities to successfully integrate online components of a course with face-to-face components Faculty are invited to engage in a 10 day asynchronous workshop designed to introduce blended learning techniques and facilitate faculty planning of a blended course. The workshop includes a focus on assessment to help faculty not only assess student learning outcomes, but also to assess how well the “blend” works to facilitate student learning.
